CURRENT MISSION

My mission at the moment is to learn more about the world I live in, to move outside my own home bubble and to experience new things that will teach me, test me, open my eyes and make me look at my self and my existence in new ways.

ABOUT ME

I live for laughter, sushi, reading, adventures, dancing and the people in my life. I am a young woman from a small but strange town in England that mostly has crystal shops, churches, temples and cafes. I come from a very large, colourful and far flung family of which I am one of the youngest. I have ten siblings. I have been brought up in a spiritual way which enriches all my experiences. Because of that I am inquiring and good at listening. I like to think deeply and to understand about people.

PHILOSOPHY

There is so much about the world that I both love and hate. There is a little that I understand so completely that everything else makes a bit more sense and yet there is as much, if not more, that has me baffled and confused. The polarities in my existence have me fighting for balance so I like to walk the middle road. I try to live life learning and absorbing. I think it's important to cherish the small moments of joy and well as the moments of awe and wonder. It's easy to let times of beauty slip by while waiting for something better. Gratitude is my philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing and hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no couch surfing experience yet but I hope to quickly change that. I am neat and respectful and I love meeting new people.

Interests

I am interested in nature, long walks, hiking, camp fires, river swimming and beach combing. I love live music and dancing. I read a lot of books. I have played the piano from a young age and try to keep in practice as much as I can. I meditate when I can. I am learning to grow things in my garden. Spirit/God/Goddess/Mystery

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been amongst 500 hundred children singing Opera, it is the most glorious sound. Many, many voices raised in joy! I have been in a hot air balloon and sung in a suspended choir witch an orchestra in the air on TV. I have held a seven mile long pink scarf that was knitted in protest of Nuclear Weapons and seen it stretched between two Atomic Weapons Bases in Britain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a new language!
